Mrs. Carter, why do you care about sans serif font?

I have an eye condition that makes it hard for me to see text clearly. Those little "serifs" make it even harder for me. The way I see without my glasses (especially when I am tired) is captured by the vertical focus example in the picture. So, do a tired teacher a favor. Use sans-serif fonts to print your work. My eyeballs thank you in advance.
